I have turned on both Telnet server and Telnet Client features but when I try
to telnet to the Vista machine from another machine on the LAN I get : Could not open connection to the host, on port 23: Connect failed. Do I have to do anything else on the Vista machine in order to get this working? I port forward the port 23 on the router to the Vista machine, but I do not think that matters. Any ideas? |

Have you checked the firewall?

Yes.. I actually turned the firewall off on the Vista machine.. Still the
same error on the client. I thought turning the telnet server on would not require anything else.. or my problems is elsewhere. "Robert L [MVP - Networking]" wrote: Have you checked the firewall?
